Theatre in Moscow «The best clown in the world». His Snow Show is celebrated as «a theatre classic of the 20th century» (The Times, London) – about the famous Snow show by Slava Polunin.

What Is My Kind of Theatre? or The Theatre I Love - It is a kind of wedding cavalcade,where I try to marry everyone to everyone; - It is a theatre of ritual magic and festive pageantry, constructed on the basis of images and movements, games and fantasies, that are the common creation of the audience and the people of the theatre; - It is a theatre which inexorably grows from dreams and tales; - It is a theatre of hopes and dreams, full of longing and loneliness, losses and disillusionment; - It is a theatre which always changes, which breaths spontaneous improvisation and cares scrupulously for tradition; - It is in the vein of contemporary multi-layered synthesis, on the boundary of life and art; - It is a theatre that works in an epic-intimate alloy of tragedy and comedy, of absurdity and naivity, of cruelty and gentleness; - It is a theatre which escapes definition and the unequivocal understanding of its actions, as from attempts to usurp its freedom.

-Slava Polunin

Spectacle by Slava Polunin «Tchu» New Mime-programme.

“Tchu” is a story about old clowns, that was in need to stop the circus career with all the feeling of been famous, the success for a life on an attic floor.

Created by real stories of one day well-known circus artists that was gone from the scene and was forgotten by public.

Slava Polunin try to show this enormous difference, this contrast between two different lifes of the same person.

But the heroes of the spectacle stay optimistic and try to love this world and enjoy their living.

They don’t stop to play, just now without the spectators, by re-creating a scene in an old attic floor, by creating their last show.

Stunning atmosphere and perfect dramaturgy and a signature approach to the problem

by Slava Polunin.

A sincere, kind and optimistic spectacle, with a light « bitter taste ».

Slava Polunin is now like a brand in the world of clownery.

This completely new spectacle is an interesting point of vision from a true clown, mime and circus knower.

The spectacle is presented for the FIRST TIME IN MOSCOW!
